Victim’s sister slams Biden’s pullout
The sister of a pilot killed on 9/11 when his plane slammed into the Pentagon has ripped President Biden over the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan — saying “the terrorists have become so much smarter.”
Debra Burlingame, who lost her brother, Charles “Chic” Burlingame III, told Fox News that she was enraged at Biden after she watched a clip of then-President George W. Bush promising to respond to the terror attack almost 20 years ago.
“Just listening to that fills me with rage,” Burlingame told “The Story” host Martha MacCallum. “Because I can’t imagine what the sound bites 20 years from now will be from President Biden: Those [from Bush] speak to everything he’s not doing.”
She continued: “I believe we’re in grave danger now. This administration is now embracing a terrorist regime: The very people he’s referring to sheltered Osama bin Laden, the ones that provided him a safe haven while they practiced storming the cockpits and killing the pilots.
“That regime is now in place [in Kabul]. Some of the very people involved . . . are the people that President Biden is calling a friendlier, kinder Taliban,” she told MacCallum.
“No. They’re mullahs installed now. They have members of the Haqqani Network in their ministry. Haqqani is more vicious than al Qaeda: They are known for brutal hostage-taking.
“This anniversary is devastating. I could cry right now over what’s happening in Afghanistan. We’re in graver danger than we were on Sept. 10, 2001,” Burlingame said.
